There's nothing wrong with being happy somewhere, even if it's the little pond you grew up in, as long as you are in fact comfortable vs. bored.

Plan your own vacations when you want to, and plan a suitable combined vacation with this other family when you want to. If they freak out at your planning your own vacations as you see fit, then let them. Bowing to unreasonable demands because someone will make you pay emotionally if you don't is not a healthy option.

The topic of sexual education makes me nuts, because kids are certainly not now and have rarely ever been "clueless" about what adults do and delude themselves about keeping from their kids. Especially now that so many of them are carrying the entire internet around in their pockets.

Moving is hard. Staying is easy. Logistically speaking, at least. And this is true whether you're doing or undoing something.

If you're not sure what you want, then hold back from making plans or responding to invitations until you have a chance to think about it.

It's probably good for your body and brain to get moving occasionally.
